Greig (illness) is in Monday's lineup against the Rangers.
Greig was a game-time decision, as he's dealing with a minor illness, but he's healthy enough to suit up. The 21-year-old forward has 13 goals and 26 points through 70 games this season and he's been held without a point in three straight games. He's dressing as the second-line center Monday.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Game-time call Monday
Rotowire
Greig is under the weather and will be a game-time decision versus the Rangers on Monday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Greig has already set new personal bests across the board in games played (70), goals (13) and assists (13). With Mark Kastelic (upper body) and Tim Stutzle (upper body) also in doubt, the 21-year-old Greig's absence would further stretch an already thin forward group.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Pots two tallies in loss
Rotowire
Greig scored two goals in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.
The 2020 first-round pick has moved onto Ottawa's top line at even strength between Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux and is taking full advantage. Tuesday's performance was the first multi-goal game of his brief career, and Greig has two goals and five points in the last four games. The 21-year-old didn't see any power-play time Tuesday, however, and when Josh Norris (upper body) returns, he's likely to bump Greig back down the depth chart.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Lights lamp Thursday
Rotowire
Greig scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Greig's first-period marker briefly gave the Senators a 2-1 lead. He's scored twice over the last three games, but he has just three points through nine outings since recovering from a lower-body injury. The center is at four goals, 10 points, 27 shots, 28 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 18 appearances, mainly filling a third-line role.

Senators' Ridly Greig: First goal since return
Rotowire
Greig scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Greig's first-period marker briefly gave the Senators a 2-1 lead. It was his first goal and second point over seven games since he returned from a long-term lower-body injury that cost him most of November. The 21-year-old has returned to his usual third-line role. He's matched his point total from last season with nine points through 16 outings in 2023-24. Greig also has 25 shots on net, 25 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-8 rating as a solid secondary scorer for the Senators.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Removed from LTIR
Rotowire
Greig (lower body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
It appears as though Greig will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers following a 10-game absence. He has produced two goals, five assists, 18 shots on net and 15 hits in nine appearances this season. Look for him to occupy a middle-six role in his return to action.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Poised to return Tuesday
Rotowire
Greig (lower body) is slated to play versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Greig has been out of action for the required 10 games after being designated for long-term injured reserve and will need to be activated before puck drop. Prior to getting hurt, the 21-year-old center was rolling offensively with seven points in nine games while averaging 14:17 of ice time. With Greig back in action, the Senators will likely return to a traditional 12-forward, six-defensemen lineup, which figures to see Jacob Bernard-Docker or Erik Brannstrom serving as a healthy scratch.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Still weeks away
Rotowire
Greig (lower body) is still weeks away from being ready to return to the lineup, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Coach D.J. Smith said Tuesday that Greig could be out for "north of two weeks." The 21-year-old Greig was off to a strong start this season with two goals, seven points, 19 shots on net and 15 hits in nine appearances. Rourke Chartier and Roby Jarventie have been taking turns centering Ottawa's third line during Greig's absence.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Likely to miss games
Rotowire
Greig, who sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's 3-2 loss to LA, is regarded as doubtful for Ottawa's next few contests, coach D.J. Smith told Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet during the postgame press conference.
That will put a pause on Greig's hot start to the campaign -- he entered Thursday's action with two goals and seven points through eight outings. Rourke Chartier might move up to the third line while Greig is unavailable. With Mark Kastelic (lower body) also expected to miss time as a result of an injury sustained Thursday, Ottawa will likely recall forwards from the AHL ahead of Saturday's match against Tampa Bay.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Making most of opportunity
Rotowire
Greig scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Greig's goal came on the power play in the first period when he tipped a Claude Giroux shot for a 1-0 lead. Shane Pinto's (suspension) absence has given Greig a chance to prove he belongs in the NHL. Greig has been making the most of that opportunity with points in six of his last seven games (two goals, five assists). And he a team-best plus-7 rating. We all keep waiting for the bubble to burst for Greig, but he simply keeps performing.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Assists in three straight games
Rotowire
Greig recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Capitals.
Greig picked up a helper for the third straight game. The 21-year-old has seen middle-six usage so far, though the season debut of Josh Norris figures to send Greig to a third-line role with limited power-play usage in the near future. Greig has added five shots on goal, four hits and a plus-4 rating over four contests.

Senators' Ridly Greig: May still return to action
Rotowire
Greig (chest), who was originally ruled out for the season, could still play this year, though hasn't been officially cleared as of Wednesday, Ian Mendes of The Athletic reports.
Greig was a full practice participant Wednesday, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, yet is still working his way back to 100 percent. The 20-year-old's potential return will likely be too little too late for the Senators to earn a playoff spot but should clear the way for him to make the Opening Night roster ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

The exact nature of his injury wasn't reported, but it appeared Greig was favoring his shoulder.
